The Artist's Body by Tracey Warr and Amelia Jones Survey Amelia Jones, among the world experts in the field, discusses performance and body art against the background of social history. She examines the breakdown of barriers between art and life, visual and sensual experience - how artists have expanded and renewed the age-old tradition of self-portraiture, moving art out of the gallery into unexpected spaces and media. Works Each image is accompanied by an extended caption. The book is organized thematically: 'Painting Bodies', concerns work that shows the trace, stain or imprint of the artist's body in response to the paint-on-canvas tradition. 'Gesturing Bodies', examines artists who transform the body - its acts, its gesture - into art; gesture, behaviour and situations are used in place of art objects. 'Ritualistic and Transgressive Bodies', looks at work which uses the body to enact challenges to the social expectations of the body, often in rituals that perform a cathartic function. Mutilation and sacrifice are used to rupture personal and social homogeneity. The book is in a good condition with some minor dents on the the front cover.
